Abstract
Objective: To determine whether moxibustion had an anti-inflammatory effect on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by regulating Annexin 1 expression and interfering with the phospholipaseA2 signaling pathway.
Methods: Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly categorized into five groups (six rats per group): blank control (CON) group, RA model (RA) group, moxibustion (MOX) group, Annexin 1 lentiviral intervention (RNAi-Anxa1) group, and Annexin 1 lentiviral intervention + moxibustion (RNAi-Anxa1 + MOX) group. The rats in the RNAi-Anxa1 and the RNAi-Anxa1 + MOX groups were injected with the lentiviral vector-mediated RNAi-Anxa1 into the rat foot pad. An experimental RA rat model was established by injecting Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) into the RA, MOX, RNAi-Anxa1, and RNAi-Anxa1 + MOX groups. Rats in the MOX and RNAi-Anxa1 + MOX groups received moxibustion treatment. After modeling, using moxibustion "Shenshu (BL23)" and "Zusanli (ST36)", each point is 5 times, bilateral alternating, once a day, 6 times for a course of treatment, between the courses of rest for a one day. A total of three treatment courses were conducted. Both bilateral pad thicknesses were measured using Vernier calipers on experimental days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The expression of cPLA2α signaling in the synovium of diseased joints was observed using Western blot. The pathology of the rat ankle synovium was observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Moxibustion increased the levels of Annexin 1 and decreased the inflammatory response in rats with RA. After increasing the expression of Annexin 1, the phosphorylated expression of cPLA2α was inhibited, the serum levels of IL-1β, PGE2, and LTB4 decreased, and the level of IL-10 increased. In moxibustion treated RA rats after the Annexin 1 lentiviral intervention, the serum levels of IL-1β, PGE2, LTB4, and IL-10 were almost unchanged.
Conclusion: Moxibustion enhanced the negative regulation of the cPLA2α signaling pathway, increased the synovial Annexin 1 expression, inhibited the cPLA2α signaling pathway, indirectly inhibited the expression of downstream inflammatory factors, and played a role in reducing inflammation.
